Good morning, Waukesha.

Waukesha man Christopher Hauschultz, 24, was sentenced to 1.5 years in prison by Judge K.
Scott Wagner after he fled police following treatment at a local hospital on May 6—he resisted arrest near a residence when a local resident confronted him with a butcher knife.
🏛️ Government
Drivers in New Berlin could soon pay up to $40 more per year for registration—if the Common Council approves a new municipal wheel tax to help cover a $3.7 million budget gap.
The fee would affect about 34,000 vehicles and may take effect on January 1, 2026 if the ordinance is adopted later this year.
Delafield City Council met Monday to consider ending its contract with Lake Country Fire & Rescue as the city, which is third-largest by population, handled 43% of calls (a cost concern for the community).
City Administrator Tom Hafner said the city asked Western Lakes Fire District for a proposal on Tuesday night and expects a cost estimate by September (possibly leading to a new service option).
